It wasn't until after I designed this Drill Press Stand that I actually thought about how I could make it. I'd always intended to make it from steel but the only methods I could think of achieving it were far from elegant. I didn't want to give up on the design though as I was super happy with it, so I decided to make it from plywood instead. :)
I’ve never seen anyone on TH-cam ever make anything like it! Just the fact that you thought of it is credit to your skill and craftsmanship… You are indeed a master there’s no one like “Pask”! Great Job-Terrific Vid! Thanks.
I’m so glad you did make it the way you did! It looks awesome and harks back to the workbench build that I loved so much and got me watching your awesome vids all those years ago!
The main reason for using metal like cast iron seems to me to be for the sake of the weight and consequent stability. A secondary consideration is resistance to impact and puncture in use, but normally a drill press has a metal deck anyhow. Anyhow, wood is lighter. To compensate for the smaller weight, as well as a certain top heaviness of the whole apparatus, bolting it to the floor might be appropriate.
Well the answer is obvious: You'll need to start casting iron. Just kidding, this stand came out looking great. If it turns out it's not heavy enough, bolt it to the floor.
Not only that, I've learned so much from youtubers who do that. Before youtube, if I made a mistake, I often just started again or sometimes even gave up for a while, but I've learned to fix mistakes. You also start making less and less mistakes this way.
YES. The depth error because of an old measurement is a common occurrence. Stuff gets revised and changed and sometimes nobody tells you until you're already working on something.
I like that you are about as comfortable with metal as you are with wood, it usually seems like a craftsman strongly favors one over the other, and it can seriously limit his projects because of that.
It'd be nice to have separate workshops for each. Woodwork is dry and dusty, metalwork is oily and sticky. Not a great combo, even before you worry about the fire hazard from all the welding and grinding sparks. It's an incentive to keep the shop clean, at least.
@@MattOGormanSmith agreed. he may well have that, I'm more pleased to see he's competant in both areas, more so than most woodworkers, i think; or how Mattias Wandel is great with electronics, as well as woodworking. it expands their skills and what projects they can handle and do WELL at.
@@TizonaAmanthia Well though... I always tell my carpenter-only friends that they are losing a great opportunity of learning to work with metal too. At least, it is good to know how to weld, how to bend sheetmetal, and how to use screws to hold metal pieces together! At least one of them learned just enough to be able to add a thin plate top cover to his homemade circular saw table, and he succeeded!
The act of putting the slides and sides into the opening, and then measuring the remaining width is genius! I have no doubt that I'd out there with my calipers trying to figure out how thick the plywood really was, end with complicated fractions and an ill-fitting drawer! I will try very hard in the future to remember that trick!
I love your videos and I've come to love the comments section as well. Everyone said all the good things I was thinking already. It's nice to come to a corner of youtube where the comments are full of respect and love! But it's hard to not love your stuff Pask!
Thanks very much - glad you're enjoying the videos as well as the comments section! I really do get very positive feedback which I absolutely appreciate, every one of them! :)
So refreshing to see you make this by hand rather than using a fancy x-carve. Don't get me wrong, I love my CNC but often get tired of seeing them used constantly in YT videos. Always enjoy and am inspired by your work.
I am very thankful for the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO that has been a tremendous help to me in building a perfect outdoor shed. I have been facing many challenges and difficulties for a long time, but this plan has guided me to correct the mistakes during the process. I am impressed by the projects and I express my gratitude to the creator of this collection of plans.
I remember watching your channel YEARS AGO, and predicted then, you could do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING....and boy was I right ....cheers...rr Normandy, France
@@PaskMakes As an electronics engineer my first day in the mechanical shop was using a fly press to cut slots and other shapes in aluminium and steel housings and front plates. There isn't really anything as satisfying as punching holes as though it were a hot knife through butter. I really miss using that fly press and would get one if I had room for it and an excuse to use it.
It’s stunning, when I saw it I actually thought you fabricated it out of steel sheeting so props! You always build with such talent, thoughtfulness and excellent build quality. Thank you for not going the cnc route, the level of craftsmanship is beyond most woodworkers and especially in a time when hand crafted is again dying out
12:18 Amen! Good glue, good plywood, and a pure heart. It’s all you need. 23:47 Everyone knows you made that error to make us feel better about our paltry skills. Bless you.
That’s a lovely ornate stand there, which suits the drill press. When I refurbished my Tauco drill press, I used a decades old cast start switch box, but gutted it, and fitted a modern on/off switch inside, so it’s disguised.
I love it. If you had just presented it as "my new cast iron stand" I'd have totally believed it. But even made from ply, with that many layer, it's going to be bloody hard wearing anyway. Really clever design..!!
You know that moment, when you wake up and check the time hoping that you can sleep a bit more, than get so happy when you have still a few hours of sleep? That's what I do when watching Pasks videos, relishing at them being so long :)
I admire your enormous talent, but also your honesty. Not everyone has the courage to show their mistakes, something absolutely human and normal. A job of excellence! Big hug from Buenos Aires!
Awesome work! One thing I love about your videos is that you often show how to make projects from both steel and wood, so folks like me who don't have a welding set-up or a metal lathe can still make great things.
I think you should do an overall shop tour video. Shows us the outside of that building and all the rooms/tools on the inside too. Easy to make and will get a lot of views.
It's fabulous! Love the design. Didn't realize plywood could be that tough. And I definitely sang the scrap wood challenge song when you made those first cuts.🤗
Very well done, Neil. If the problem with the backside bothers you in the long run, you can chamfer the back panel until the top panel has a small overhang. This way nobody would ever notice it. The only problem would be that you would then have to paint it again.
Makes my night to find a new Pask Makes… creative as always Neil and well-executed. You always go the extra mile, and I’m glad that old drill press is back in good service. Now make me one please 😂
The workshop's slowly becoming a museum of gems... :) Gave me a 1 second heart-attack when you tested the bearing of the router with your thumb... (you probably edited it for that purpose, since the sound of the machine was already playing in that frame.) Always great if a video can give the viewer goosebumps! =D
Damn you are so clever. It does look like a cast iron stand and looks marvelous. Thanks for sharing this with us all. I appreciate the craftsmanship and talent you display here. You are a joy to watch, Neil. Thanks.
The steel drawer fronts & the lettering would’v fooled me into thinking it was a cast base if I hadn’t watched this video. But im thinking hammertone paint would’v sealed the deal. Amazing job & very inspirational video to get me into the shed on this beautiful Saturday morning.
Excellent project, love the vintage look. Also inspiring for future projects to be surrounded by stylish cabinets in a workshop, like the old craftsmen had. Rather than the modern cheap quick functional boxes, which inspire more of the same.
That looks amazing. Loved the drill press resto and loved this video too. I've also put my name down for the brass hammer once that becomes available 👍
I do love your attention to the small details, such as the heads of the bolts fastening the handles. It’s those details that will ”fool you” to think it’s an old cast iron base…
This has to be the most stylishly elegant piece of shop furniture I've yet to see on TH-cam, and it matches the drill press perfectly. My OCD would have forced me to make a new top tray though. I've also never seen or heard of a fly press before watching your videos, but now I want one so bad lol.
Neil, an excellent project presented with style. I have watched you for several years and to me you are teacher, presenter, artist, engineer and master of multi-material making. Thank you for the support you provide through your projects, it's made living with life limiting mental health issues that little bit easier for me. Kindest regards.
Showing the error with the top reminds all of us that you are also a mortal. Though this could also be part of your cunning plan? Seriously, looks fantastic. Well done!
@@PaskMakes Mum's the word Neil. Definitely rock solid old school eye candy. Can't wait to see the control box you come up with. Thanks Much for all you bring forward to the community!

Your floor seems to be very level. For my shop I would have installed adjustable feet. And yes to answer your question. It was worth the effort.
Fantastic job. Excellent. The only thing I can't stop looking at is the sharp inside corners. Every inside corner in cast iron has a radiused fillet. Just needs a putty fillet and another coat to be authentic and convincing.
This is a great job Neil. As a steel fabricator from a time past I can see you certainly made this in the style of an older metal bench. I would like to know what you initially saw to help you create this style of bench. I like these types of videos Neil. Keep them coming.
I really like the stand and drill press restoration, they came out superb. You mentioned in a previous video that the only time you make or fix anything around the house is for a video, so how about doing another house upgrade/fix series? Or some to add to your Home and Garden playlist? I know we would all learn a thing or two from your skills and Cath would be delighted to get some things fixed. Thanks for continuing to make awesome videos
Love the design and build of this base. If you can get a Hammerite paint it will give a cast iron type of finish. That might blend in with the drill press and any other cast machinery in your workshop.I was the wall mounted gear and propeller videos that got me hooked. I enjoy your builds, keep them coming.
Another awesome project Neil, and the perfect partner for the vintage Drill Press, the extra effort on the lettering and making the handles are great finishing touches to complete the illusion - in short - Definitely worth the effort ! Looking forward to the vintage control box video too !
The video was awesome.. Your presentation is really really good. I love the vintage look of the drill press/stand now. One thing that might be worth a little time would be to add leveling/locking casters, so it can be leveled and possibly moved for cleaning. perhaps a mount for the vintage control box on the stand so it can be portable?
Neil, that was an incredible build. It really does look cast iron and it has such an interesting style to it. A super classy addition to your shop, which is really looking well kitted out,. Good on ya!
Neil, I finally had time to watch this and I am so impressed with the outcome! What a cool setup for a vintage drill press, a "vintage" tool stand! That is awesome in every way. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you like it Nikos! I've said it many times, the flypress is my absolute favourite tool! :)
@@PaskMakes As an electronics engineer my first day in the mechanical shop was using a fly press to cut slots and other shapes in aluminium and steel housings and front plates.

Every channel has one tool which is the star of the show. Gingium has his plasma table. I feel like yours is the fly press, it's so good.
As someone who enjoys restoring vintage woodworking machinery, I very much appreciate this period style stand.
The whole set looks absolutely awesome. The color match is perfect. Looks so vintage. Fantastic!!
"What happens in the back of a cabinet stays in the back of a cabinet"
Thank you for such content Neil !!
The stand definitely matches the drill press. I love how you were able to make it look so much like an ornate steel cabinet
It looks incredible Neil. The colour is spot on and you wouldn't know it's plywood by the colour and design.
Fantastic video mate 👌👏👍🏽

Glad you enjoyed it! It would've been nice to have the finished piece made from steel but I think plywood was the correct choice in the end. :)

I’m impressed. I had no idea it was wood until you mentioned it in the start of the video. Bravo!

Thanks Tony! I know it's not essential but it's fun to be surrounded by cool items, even in the workshop. :)
Beautiful workshop and Beautiful work keep it up man the world would be in sorry shape without craftsmen in the world like you
That's the most beautiful drill stand I've ever seen.
You had me fooled I really thought it was made of steel by just looking at it! Great result as always Neil, good job! 👌
A real thing of beauty, regardless of function I think it would look lovely as a piece of furniture.

"Was it worth the extra effort?"
I have to say: Yes! That really gives that iconic tool a proper place to live.
